Rapper 50 Cent Ordered to Bankruptcy Court Over Instagram Photos

A bankruptcy judge has ordered 50 Cent into her courtroom to explain a
number of photos of the rapper posing with large stacks of cash, suggesting
that he could be lying about his current financial situation after filing
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last summer.

According to the judge, bankruptcy is supposed to be a transparent process
meant to help “honest, but unfortunate” people achieve a fresh
start. These photos suggest that 50 Cent’s asset disclosure may
not be as transparent as it should be.

One of the photos shows stacks of hundred dollar bills arranged to spell
the word “BROKE.” A different picture show him lounging on
a bed surrounded by piles of cash, and another shows a refrigerator stuffed
with bundles. He has also bragged online about buying a new home in Africa.

The rapper’s lawyer has said that the photos were released with the
intention to smear him after a woman was unable to collect $7 million
from 50 Cent in a sex-tape dispute. The rapper’s mortgage lender
and a partner in a failed headphone deal joined forces with the woman
to attempt to get an outside financial professional to manage his money
until he could pay back creditors the roughly $30 million he owed to them.
The lawyer contended that the three creditors had intentionally ignored
the fact that the rapper, as part of the entertainment business, uses
photos of this kind to promote his image and brand. The lawyer insists
that all of the rapper’s income has been faithfully reported and
that it is a mistake to imply that he is concealing assets.
